Hello,
I’ve been fighting with the BuddyPress user profile for several days.
I created a tab (I use BuddyPress User Profile Tabs Creator Pro) in which I want the user to be able to add or modify field values of his profiles. (list of skills). For this first I thought of using BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types. But since there is no possibility of creating groups of repetitive fields, I turned to ACF Pro. So, I created a group of fields (let’s call it my_group) in which there are nested repetitive fields (like category, title, value, description…) I tested it in a post and it works as I want.
But how do you make this group of fields appear in a BuddyPress profile tab?
What are the possible solutions?
I also thought of creating a CPT (like “Skills”) but it seems very heavy to implement and there may be simpler.
Thank you
BrunoAdditional information.
I also thought as a solution to insert a shortcode in the profile form but the possibility does not exist.Hello again,
Sorry. Forget what I said before. After a night of sleep, it seems clear to me that what I want to do CPT for is the right way.
So users can create and modify as much information as they want and I can also add taxonomies.
So my question now is: how can I assign to the BuddyPress user profile all the CPTs he / she has written?
Thank you again.
BrunoHi Bruno,
Thank you for the topic.for your last question:- You will need a shortcode that accepts user id and lists all the posts from a specific post type.
I am not sure if there exists a plugin(there should be some) or not. Please check it on WordPress.org plugin search.
If you find one, I can assist you with how to replace the user id with displayed user id(we have replace option for strings).
Regards
BrajeshHello Brajesh,
What about this idea?
I have already created a CPT (CPT-UI & ACF) with taxonomie and so on. Then I’ll intend to use BuddyBlog and BuddyPress Simple Front End editor. Finally I’ll put the submission form in a BuddyPress User Profile Tab.That way is the post attached to the BP user ?
(Never mind if it’s not sync with WP profile as far as I can do some search to find the info from taxonomies and get the post author back)
Thank You
